Car can't find idle Hey guys--I've got my new opti on and got the coolant system back on.
I don't think my fans are working right, but not real sure yet because I haven't been able to keep it running long enough to get it up to temp.
The car had a dead battery (might be bad haven't had it checked yet) but with it jumped off it is really rough (lots of vibration) and eventually chokes itself out. Smells like the mixture is really rich but not sure. I've pulled the A.I.R. pump during reassembly and capped off the intake and the exhaust manifold (did I miss something??)
The car will try and idle on its on and can make it anywhere from 30seconds to a couple min before it chokes out.
Any suggestions on what I need to check---the car has sat up for about 5 months.
